Do we really need cbdc now?
Haven't you learned yet that it's your government that needs it, not you?
CBDC is a way of printing money, so we can say that CBDC is VS cash and not crypto it is like comparing Ferrari and F35
Well, it is rather worse than printed money, because with it you have privacy to some extent. If you pay for a car or a washing machine but you give your data (for example to have it sent to your home), you don't have privacy, but in the great majority of payments, especially small ones, you do. With CBDCs everything will be registered, even when you buy a fucking chewing gum, but seeing how many people pay for that with their mobile or smartwatch they won't care. Apart from the fact that it is easier to manipulate, seizing it, putting an expiration date on it or preventing you from spending it on whatever the government deems (as if it thinks you have bought enough meat or gasoline this month).
It is not "blockchain and security for the masses", it is total control and complete management of your money, which will be in the hands of the state. Read about the implementation of this technology, it is a "blockchain hell" which just crosses out all the advantages of this wonderful technology and ideology. But... most likely - there's no turning back now
This.
